Sergi Vélez, partner of socialist spokesperson Montse Mínguez, is the CEO and owner of NestCapital, a real estate holding with dozens of rental properties in Catalonia and a presence in Argentina and Brazil.
Sergi Vélez, businessman and partner of PSOE spokesperson Montse Mínguez, has been the CEO and owner of the real estate holding NestCapital since 2017. The company with the most assets in the group, Nest Capital Homes, has only one employee and has declared assets worth €8.4 million, of which more than six million correspond to real estate investments, according to information published by Artículo 14 and reported by Infobae.
The group's activity focuses on the purchase, sale, operation, and non-financial leasing of properties. The company has dozens of rental properties in Catalonia and has filed eviction lawsuits for non-payment by tenants, according to the registry data cited by the outlet.
The holding also maintains projects in Argentina and Brazil. Specifically, Vélez is involved in the board of the Argentine company Nueve Tigres SA, a company that was presided over by his father, José Luis Vélez Burrell, until 2019, as reported by El Español.
Another of the companies linked to his name is Negoproject Nordeste, established in 2021 and registered in the National Classification of Economic Activities with the rental of real estate for its own account as its main activity. Its corporate purpose also includes the construction of buildings. The group also has a presence in the restaurant sector with at least two establishments: Bocao Restaurantes, registered in 2024, and Desbocao, registered in 2025.
The spokesperson herself acknowledged the information this Wednesday in an interview on Espejo Público on Antena 3, where she defended that the fund is a family business that complies with the law and the Catalan housing law.
“Personal attacks are the worst thing in politics. Trying to sell that a family business is doing something wrong is a lie. It is a company that complies with the law and what the housing law says in Catalonia. We are not against companies or property owners.”
The revelation comes amid the electoral pre-campaign and coincides with the debate on large property holders. The PSOE is trying to capitalise on social discontent over rental prices and the right's rejection of housing decrees in Congress, in a context marked by the death of Maricarmen, the 87-year-old tenant evicted after losing a legal battle against a vulture fund.
The latest CIS barometer, the first after the eviction and the housing camp, places the PSOE in the lead with an estimated vote of 34%, three points more than the previous month and double the lead over the PP, which records its worst figure in the last year.
